From the house balcony, there is a great view of Poros day and night, a charming Greek island which is easily accessible through a short ferry ride every 30 minutes or by using the cute small boats which cross the canal every 5 minutes from Galatas.
Hydra, another great island with a traditional Greek town on which motorized vehicles are excluded, like going back in time, is just half hour away with "flying dolphins" or 40 minutes drive to Metochi where boats go to Hydra every 2 hours.

One of the best Airbnb we have ever visited. First of all, Dimitris send us before our arrival a very detailed guide and we had no difficulties to find his home, on the top of a hill, with lots of olive trees. Our arrival was wonderful : Penelopi, Dimitri's mother welcomed us very friendly. She is a great hostess. She showed us her beautiful house and particularly the amazing view on Poros Island. Then we went to our room : a good bed, a bathroom just for us and a balcony with again that amazing view on Poros and on olive tree hill. We recommend Penelopi's breakfast : served on her balcony, Penelopi cooks according to her mood. We had great crêpes with home made marmelade and a delicious cake. Moreover Penelopi has lots of advice to give about restaurants, beaches, visits, roads to take... And she is always welcoming people : a glass of wine with olives from the garden, fresh water for the night. Perfect ! If we could, we would have stayed more nights. This Airbnb is just perfect and Penelopi is someone to meet absolutely !

Caroline2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

I had some troubles since my flight got in too late to make it to the island but Demetrious and Popi were so helpful and welcoming to my mother and friend who got in before me. She prepared a great breakfast, always had fresh fruit, helped with finding things to do and beaches, and provided amazing conversation. We greatly miss Popi and hope to return again! No to mention what an amazingly beautiful house she has with a killer view!!!

Annabella2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

This was the first time I had ever used Airbnb and if every family is like this I will only use Airbnb for the rest of my travels. My sister and I expected to fall in love with Galatas but fell more in love with them!

Erica2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

it was fantastic house, great view to Poros and the beautiful sea from everywhere. the water view from the bedroom or sitting room or dining table, the sea view always surrounding us. the house roof is like a palace, I feel how posh it is. Dimitris and his mother Penelope welcome us and made our stay really great. Penelope gave us recommendations of tourist attractions and restaurants and a kind taxi driver take us any time we call him. we would definitely love to stay again ther. highly recommended.

Adam2016-08-12T00:00:00Z

The place is just a dream! (the view, the house, the room...) And we were welcomed heartly from Penelope. We strongly reccomend a visit there

Nadja2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

I Can't explain the feeling in a commentary ! Everythings was perfect, but wait, better than perfect ! Dimitris give us all information to go in galatas, but Poppi bring us by car

Mike2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

We had such a fantastic stay! Dimitris met us from the port and took us up to the accommodation. Incredible view over Poros old town. Hosts were amazing - great recommendations for restaurants. . Opt for Penelope's breakfast - it was delicious and we didn't need to bother with lunch! Very special spot and would stay again. Nothing was an issue - did washing and Penelope helped us hire a scooter and ordered a taxi on the last day.

We stayed in Galatas five days and had a great time. First thing to mention: we got the warmest and loveliest welcome from Irene, our host and she was very friendly and helpful with all our questions. She does really care about her guests and showed a great hospitality. The house was really nice and quite big with a huge balcony with a beautiful seaview - just like on the pictures. The neighborhood is really quiet and one really nice beach is even in walking distance. If you are into cooking, you gonna love the big and fully equipped kitchen and enjoy your dinner on the balcony with a view on the sea and the island in front of Galatas. Thanks again for making our stay so pleasant. Any time again :). Theresa & Sidi

We recommend this location !!! A lot !! Anastasia ans Irene prepare the place like it was for them. Irene catch us at the port and give us a lot of informations and goods plans to go out, eat and see the beautiful that Galatas have. The appartment had a beach at 10min by walk, not so much tourists and clear water. I went with my two daughters and my sister and it was a perfect place to visit islands like Poros and Hydra. Not expensive place and really good people. Irene and Anastasia are very kindness and we have the chance to share a good time diner with them. Don't hesitate one second !! The view is wonderfull with the sunrise just in front of the terrace. Thank you girls, we spend a really really good time in your place, and the sirup of lemin was... waouh delicious !!!

My husband and I have felt very comfortable during the stay. Especially the terraces are unique and the views of the sea and the mountains are terrific. Irene gave us expresses warmly welcomed and explained to us all the important details of the apartment. We were greeted with delicious cookies and different things like tea, coffee, bread and jam. Very attentive. You can good English and she gave us several tips on what you can do in Galatas and the surrounding area. She was always available to help with questions or concerns. She is very warm and open. We really relaxes and recovers us fine. The apartment was clean and had charm because the device is designed livable.

Birgit2016-09-24T00:00:00Z

The apartment is lovely, scenic, relaxing. Large balcony, loads of space, nice surroundings. Irene, the host, is so welcoming, like an old friend. Amazing value. What more could you want? It's ~4km from town, so easier with a car.

Matt2017-05-12T00:00:00Z

we have had a lovely time in this house, the terrace is very spacious and the view is lovely. the interieur is a bit dated, some things a bit dirty, but the important things, like the beds, sheets, towels, plates, glasses, pots etc. are very clean. the host Irene is a very lovely and warm person. She is willing to do anything for you. There were lovely welcome gifts for us. Every thing you can imaging to need in a house is present here. The wifi is very good, but limited to 3GB. We were not aware of that, and our son used it in a couple of ours watching YouTube

Alie2016-08-26T00:00:00Z

The sweetest hosts! The house is locateted 5 min from Galatas harbor and is perfect for anyone who wants to relax and explore the beaches of peloponneese and Poros island. Also it's 50 min away of the epidavros ancient theatre. The apartment is very clean comfortable and fully equipment. Miss Irini had a very nice breakfast for as and a homemade lemone juice. Best thing about the house is the big balcony with a great view to the see! Thank you Anastasia and irini for the hospitality, It was very nice to meet you. We would definitely recommend it and I hope to go back next summer!

A lovely and warm home to spend your holidays in Poros. It is located in the center of the island.

Our apartment is situated at the very Centre of Poros Island and is part of the 2nd floor of the building. The entrance is on the first parallel of the main sea-shore road. The front, which has a view to Galatas (Peloponnesus) facing the Canal from where all big and small boats, yachts and fishing boats, flying dolphins are passing making the view unique. It is a spacious apartment (98 sq. m) with a master bed room (18 sq. m.) on the front with two windows and another two beds room. The living room (24 sq. m) has three windows where from the view, you have the impression that you are on a boat. There is a kitchen , a w.c. with a separate douche place. As it is, our Poros house, we have decorated it with beloved objects and furnished with our taste which we hope will meet your satisfaction.

The house is beautifully decorated, and right on the water. But it is also LOUD, situated as it is directly above a bar that will often not let you sleep at night. There is no WIFI at the house, which was rather inconvenient for me, since I had planned to put in a couple of hours of work every day during my stay, and this proved impossible. I think this ought to be explicitly mentioned in the house description. There is a serious problem with the airconditioning, which was simply announced to us as something of no great importance when we arrived: water comes out of the airconditioning unit, which the owners have decided to collect in a water bottle, and which we were asked to empty every time it would get full. The problem is that it gets full every forty minutes - we timed it. So we had to set alarms on our phones to go empty that bottle, which practically means you can't relax in the house with the AC on, and you can't sleep with it on at night. All of this would matter little, though, if it were not for the experience we had specifically with the hosts: really disappointing. My friend Lina tried to get water from the tap in the bathroom sink one day, and a part of the iron handle broke off. We immediately called the host. We were rather surprised, since the faucet was made of metal, and Lina would not have been able to break the handle even if she had used a hammer. The host apologized for the inconvenience and explained that there are salts in the water of the island (which, indeed, one cannot drink anywhere), and this was why the metal piece came off. I thought that would be the end of it, but it became the beginning of a nightmare. At first, the host called us after midnight to tell us that the following morning he was sending a plumber. I thought he was trying to be nice, and ignored the fact that he had called so late, and that we would have to wake up so early the following day to let the plumber in. What he didn't tell us was that he was expecting us to pay 80 euros for a new faucet, which we never actually saw - the original faucet was never replaced during our stay. I was not convinced that this was our fault, and Orestis had in fact apologized during the first few times we spoke. But then he spoke with his mother, and started calling again and again and again, and now claims that he sent the faucet and we were not there for the plumber's second visit... - our vacation ended up being constantly interrupted by his endless calls and threats and final report of the incident to airbnb. No one should have to go through this during their vacation...

Nicely decorated neo-classical apartment with a lovely view of the sea and the numerous boats passing by. Very centrally located in town and surrounded by cafes and restaurants. Although I'm a light sleeper, it didn't bother me to much. Magdalena takes good care of everything and the house feels like home. It's not perfect, since it is an old house, but the feel of it is very good. The only thing I missed was a balcony, so we usually sat in front of the open windows. Communication with Magdalena went very smoothly by email and we were very satisfied with our stay.

Very good house, close to the center. The hosts were very nice and convenient. The decoration is quite charming, there even is a piano ! The only inconvenient that I could think of is that there is no yard or outside space and no internet, but for for a weekend it's perfect.

Léa2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

The place was very nice and quiet, probably the most quiet place I stayed at so far. The only noise is a church bell in the morning, but it's not that loud. The place has a nice atmosphere and I really liked the fireplace. The only trouble was the lack of internet, but nearby cafes have free wifi (though none of them reach the house).

Martina2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

Absolutely amazing house with a beautiful view towards the sea. Very quiet place - however close to beach, town, supermarket etc. The house has everything you need and the host was very friendly and helpful. We would have loved to stay many weeks. Highly recommended

Jørgen2016-07-30T00:00:00Z

Dear Tonia, We were very pleased during our two-week stay at Your special house. Your villa is just a piece of paradise, the vue is delightful, the quiet place where the house is located refills the strengths and separates from the noise of the holidaymakers. We enjoied the beaches all around the island and there is still so much left to enjoy. We will be back for sure, and your house will be the place to stay. For the newcomers - Thea Villa and Poros island is ideal place for both -family with or without children or young couple. There's a very nice beaches (around 10 different beaches), restos, cafes and bars. Don't miss to feel the spirit that Thea Villa brings- You will not regret a minute of your holiday!!! (and...:)) don't miss to try Vayona Beach!)

Iana2015-06-20T00:00:00Z

Our family of six stayed at Poros Thea Villa for four nights. While the house is absolutely beautiful and served us very well during the day, it is really meant for four people. We loved the location, about 30 minutes by foot into Poros Town. Note that the house is at the top of a very steep hill. The walk is not for everyone. Askeli Beach is very close and a couple of good restaurants and two markets are in the neighborhood. The views from the balcony are not to be missed. This is a good option for 2-4 people interested in a quiet neighborhood and don't mind a steep climb.

Teresa2015-04-17T00:00:00Z

The host did an excellent job introducing us and making sure we understood everything in and around the house. She even called after one rather stormy night to check if everything was OK. We felt very welcomed. The house is perfectly located, a real quiet place with a marvelous view. I like to sketch and it was a good source of inspiration. We enjoyed the closeness of the stores with everything available as well as the Greek tavernas. A great holiday, thanks Tonia, we warmly recommend the place!

I never actually met Savvas and Peggy but I met Peggy's mom when she greeted me at the porch. What a lovely lady and very helpful as well. The apartment is located about 5-10 min from the port depending your pace but it's a good daily exercise since you have to climb few steps to get there. The location for me it was perfect. Even though I did not seat outside at the garden they have a nice seating area where you can enjoy those hot summers days under shade created from the trees. Inside you have anything from cutlery to a washing mashine and a flat screen TV. The apartment was very clean and tidy. I stayed there for 3 days and my overall experience was great.

So, you are close enough to the city center to go out for dinner and all the other fun and far enough away for real peace and relaxation. The apartment itself was very comfortable and clean. Niki, her family and employees are very friendly and lovely and were taking very nice care of us by providing us with whatever we asked for (like additional blankets, knives, forks and spoons). Additionally, there was a cleaning service who cleaned our apartment even during the stay! We had a wonderful time in Poros. We would love to stay in Niki’s apartment again in the future and absolutely recommend the place!

A real Greek 2 bedroom house neer to the beach, local taverns and supermarket, within few minutes walking distance!.

Poros is a beautiful island and lovely The property has a beautiful view of the sea. Maria was always available to answer our questions. The apartment is true to the photos on the site. We just regret that there is a hob and no oven or microwave.

Madly2016-08-16T00:00:00Z

Maria welcomed us warmly and was for questions and concerns always there. We felt with her very well. For short stays, the kitchen is not as convenient feature, since it has no oil, salt, pepper, etc., and everything has to be bought if you want to cook. It has no internet in the apartment.

Anna2016-04-20T00:00:00Z

The apartment is conveniently located near the center and near a pleasant, family beach. Maria was very welcome and was very available. A good place to stay in Poros Argolis and visit!

A lovely summer apartment with a unique view of the sea located a few meters away from Askeli Beach - one of the most beautiful on the island.

The apartment is fully furnished, spacious and sunny, decorated in a way so as to create a very relaxing and comfortable setting. The amazing, wide terrace with the captivating view of the sea together with the colourful garden adds to this sense of tranquillity and relaxation. It is ideal for romantic getaways as well as for vacations with friends and family.
Poros is an island which combines sandy beaches with beautiful forest scenery. The house is located at a 15-minute walking distance from the centre of the island or at a 5-minute drive by bus. Explore the village, take long walks by the sea, dine at the traditional,greek taverns, take the quaint, traditional boats and discover the island.
Poros island is accessible by both sea and land routes from Athens. By sea you may reach the island in a little over an hour using the fast flying dolphin & catamaran services from the port of Piraeus. Alternatively, you may drive from Athens to the coastal town of Galatas, where car ferries set off for the island at half-hour intervals – a trip which may be achieved in approximately 2 1/2 hours.

Zia's apartment was lovely. It was exactly as described, clean and secure. I would definitely recommend staying here.

peter2015-09-21T00:00:00Z

Zia's hospitality was wonderful. Together with her husband, she provides a fabulous place to stay. We were welcomed at the Poros ferry, driven home to fresh coffee and a newly-baked cake and a nice chat. Throughout our stay Zia and her husband did everything they could to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The house is set back from the beach and main road, but within easy access. A perfect holiday, made so much better by the warmth of our hosts.

Rex2016-07-29T00:00:00Z

Welcomed by Zia and her husband picked us up at the port we discovered the apartment is very warm and very well equipped

Françoise2016-08-08T00:00:00Z

We (family with 3 kids 12,15,15) had a great stay in Askeli Beach apartment. Zia and her husband are super nice, friendly and helpful hosts, the and us with homemade cake have received lemonade. Cleanliness great, lake once and many restaurants in walking distance. The transfer from the ferry went perfectly, Zia is easily accessible by mobile phone. We will come back!

Oliver2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

We can surely recommend this place! Loved the enormous apartment, lots of personal details, lovely hosts, great location and wonderful terrace. Last but not least thank you very much for the sweet welcome cake and the amazing boat ride!

Titia2015-07-19T00:00:00Z

The apartment has a very nice and large balcony with a great view. The beach is very close, down some steep stairs (tiring in the heat but OK otherwise). Zia and her family were very responsive and helpful on arrival. The apartment is basic and though in a good state, it could benefit from some renovation. To be noted: Air condition is only installed in the living room, not in the bedrooms. The main town is only 5min drive away. It is walkable distance but the road is busy with no pavement.

A spacious (110 sq.m.), boutique-style stone house (from the 1887) fully renovated- inspired from my trips all over the world, equipped with brand new furniture from California and Hawaii, hand crafted items from the Greek islands.

A spacious (110 sq.m.), boutique-style stone house (from the 1887) fully renovated- inspired from my trips all over the world, equipped with brand new furniture from California and Hawaii, hand crafted items from the Greek islands—located in the center of the town just a 5 minute walk from the harbor and taverns, grocery shops, gift shops, banks, cafeterias —perfectly suited to families with young children and vacationers seeking housing with easy access. The house was carefully designed in every detail in order to achieve a relaxed atmosphere and provide us the opportunity to chill out, so if you share the same concern with us, this is the place to be.

The pass of Poros is magical surrounded by pine trees, olive trees and lemon trees.The beauty of this place has impressed and has been praised by prominent literary people such as the nobelist Giorgos Seferis, Kosmas Politis, Kostis Palamas, Ioulia Dragoumi and the American writer Henry Miller. Poros is just one hour from the port of Athens.
Activities on Poros island : Water skiing, canoeing, sailing, yacht chartering, paragliding, banana boat, jet ski. There are many archaeological places of interest to visit. The beaches are all sandy and have at least one restaurant. Sun beds and parasols are available for hire.

We had a great week in Poros. Panagiotis appartment was located perfectly very close to the sea. We stayed there with our 1 year old daughter and we needed a child bed. Panagiotis fixed this without any issue! Great service! The terrace has beautiful view over the harbor and we used this allot. Panagiotis and Areti was also very responsive on both mail and phone if needed. We can highly recommend this apartment to others!

Henrik and Inger Lise2014-10-24T00:00:00Z

We stayed in this house 3 nights with our 3 years old son, we loved the location, we loved the charm of Poros and that we could find nearby restaurants, cafes and shops still while being in a quiet street. Special mention to the view from the terrasse, perfect for a breakfast under the sun. Two points to mention (the ad was in greek so maybe we misunderstood) : the house is like a giant studio so no wall separating the bedrooms (but curtains) and the stair is a little scary for small kids. Overall we enjoyed very much our stay there.

Amelie2015-05-04T00:00:00Z

My husband and I stayed in Panagiotis' house in Poros for 8 days. Since he doesn't live on the island, we were welcomed by a lady for check in. She didn't speak a lot of English, but Panagiotis had already explained the necessary things by email. The house is in located in the Pounta area of Poros, which is a bit more quite and very lovely. The house is on 2 floors with 2 open plan bedrooms (curtains) and a bathroom downstairs and an open plan kitchen/livingroom upstairs. The traditional style of the house (with very thick walls) has been emphasized with some visible stone parts and has been beautifully renovated and decorated. Although there are lots of lights, the house is a bit dark on the inside. But one probably won't spend a lot of time inside, especially not during the summer months. We spent most of our time on the top floor terrace, where you have beautiful sea views. Communication with Panagiotis and his wife Areti went very smoothly. They responded very quick on mail and SMS. We would definitely recommend this apartment.

Lydia2014-09-17T00:00:00Z

I would definitely recommend this house to others! It was a great pleasure to spent my holiday at Panagiotis place. Panagiotis is a very professional host. He is a very nice person with very good manners. Very helpful and very trustful. We had a great communication from the very beginning. He answered quickly all my questions and requests and provided me with all the information about this beautiful island. The house is perfectly located near the sea and close to all the shops, restaurants, bus stop etc. But still the neighborhood is very quiet and traditional "Greek Island". Panagiotis cares a lot about his house: it is a new construction, very clean and well equipped with everything you should need. It's a unique and very atmospheric house. Very nice decorated. Very comfortable and very cozy. I loved to have my coffee at the terrace with the fantastic view over the sea. Poros is an amazing island: Beautiful beaches, lovely town, great food. I enjoyed my stay very much! Do not hesitate to book this amazing house for your stay in Poros! I would love to come back! Panagiotis, thank you again for your excellent service!!!

Pana2016-12-07T00:00:00Z

The house is almost perfectly located , in the first street parallel to the port. it is near enough to see the port from the terrace and to jump in the lively center, but also isolated from the music during the night. The shops are also at 50 meters. For one who has no car, it is also at 50 m from a bus station to reach the beaches east side and a bike rental to go westside. The apartment is very original, due to the taste and talents of Panagiotis. Very convenient for a couple, it could also suit for a family with é children. Its main qualities are a terrace with a lovely view on the port, a second terrace with a different exposition, a powerful air conditioned, and a complete kitchen which allows to have unches inside at hot hours. It was a real pleasure to share a dinner with Panagiotis, and to visit the town at night. Panagiotis and Areti had answered precisely to our questions efore our choice. And finally it must be said that Poros is an exquisite place, for the sight of all the boats and the delight of its warmest sea.

Milena2016-08-18T00:00:00Z

Panagiotis and Areti received us with remarkable hospitality. They even went shopping for us and our children to save us to do on the first day of our arrival! We loved the clean and cozy villa with small very nice decorative touches. The Villa is a 3 minute walk from the harbor and the terrace offers a breathtaking view of the sea. The setting and Poros as a whole, are just perfect, it added to the courtesy and friendliness of the inhabitants of Poros. These holidays were wonderful. Small culinary advice: θ pastries. βΣϚϚαλα, located directly on the harbor, in the district Punda, (5 minutes from the villa) offers cakes and ice divine! and icing on the cake, Sotirilla the daughter of the owner speaks French very well :-) Thank you infinitely Areti and Panagiotis, we will come back ;-)

ghada2015-08-16T00:00:00Z

I stayed in their house with 6 more friends and we loved it. Panagiotis and his wife Areti were amazing hosts, incredibly helpful and kind. We had some problems with the ferry and arrived to Poros 10 hours later than expected, but Panagiotis waited for us. They even organized some tours for us and gave us all the information we requested and more. The house was just as the described in the listing. It had everything we needed and it was close to the port and restaurants. The view was perfect. The town is lovely, the food great and it's easy to do day trips to other beautiful places around the area. We would love to come again! A bit thank you from the the bottom of our hearts - Alexandra, Julija, Rozalin, Leandro, Ninad, Enrico and Julián.

Julian2016-03-30T00:00:00Z

I stayed in Panagiotis' lovely house in Poros for a long weekend with a few friends. The house was clean and as nice as shown on the pictures. It was incredibly cozy and we had delicious breakfasts on the terrace with a view of parts of the harbour and the sea. It was very easy to get in touch with Panagiotis and his wife Areti, who care a lot about their property, which they defintely been a lot of time and love in. The apartment is located very near the port, close to restaurants and bars. We went to a different beach everyday, they are all accessible by bus or a short cab journey. We would definitely recommend this aparment and certainly come back.

From the house balcony, there is a great view of Poros day and night, a charming Greek island which is easily accessible through a short ferry ride every 30 minutes or by using the cute small boats which cross the canal every 5 minutes from Galatas.
Hydra, another great island with a traditional Greek town on which motorized vehicles are excluded, like going back in time, is just half hour away with "flying dolphins" or 40 minutes drive to Metochi where boats go to Hydra every 2 hours.

I didnt meet Dimitris but he was very nice and helpful with organizing my trip. His mother Penelope was also incredibly welcoming and invited me to have dinner with her friends where I got to know several greek dishes. The house is on a little hill opposite of poros so the view from the balcony out to the sea is wonderful. Thank you very much - I hope I manage to come again next year!

(Which has an awful lot to offer), profound as witty conversations and unforgettable experiences from the first to the last day Beautiful location, a variety of delicious Greek food, music, tips, information about the country, people and the area - imagine better hosts we could not ,

Julia2016-11-12T00:00:00Z

Staying a Penelopi’s house was a real dream ! The house is bright and spacious and offers the most majestical view on Poros island from the top the hill where the house is located. You will sleep right under the stars, quite literally ! Aside from the enchanting house, its host Penelopi is a real Greek lady with a lot of wit and the warmest heart. It is one of those stay abnd experience which will stay in my memory and heart for the many years to come and I look forward to going back there soon to have another one of those charming & conversational Greek dinners with her. Merci beaucoup a thousand times and lots of love !

Elodie2015-08-22T00:00:00Z

The view from the terace and from the bedroom is just marvelous ! The bedroom and the bathroom were great. Dimitris was very reactive when we had questions. Thank you !

Experience authentic holidays in Greece with Live-Bio! Enjoy unhindered views of the Aegean in an idyllic setting on the Peloponnese, facing Poros Island. Fully equipped studio, with en-suite bathroom and all the facilities. And two great hosts :)

We have carefully and individually designed each and every one of our studios to complement the stunning, unobstructed views of the Aegean Sea and Poros Island. 50 square meters of modern space, with floor to ceiling windows and the Live-Bio touch.

The property is on the mainland (Peloponnese) just outside the town of Galatas, offering gorgeous views to the island of Poros. Highly recommended for connoisseurs of relaxation and romance.
You will find all amenities you require in the region, including grocery stores, local produce markets, a beautiful spa and beaches. We also offer a number of activities in the area, as well as memorable sailing trips in the region.
Our region is a great place for visiting nearby beaches, historical sites (including two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the Sanctuary of Asclepius with the gorgeous Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus and the Palace of Mycenae in Tiryns), the stunning volcanic peninsula of Methana, the wine making region of Nemea and the famous Lemon Tree grove which is only 500 meters away. Poros Island is 2 minutes away on a taxi boat (costs 1 euro) from the town of Galatas.
Come and enjoy the gorgeous views and the silence, whilst being a stone's throw away from the vibe.

Unfortunately, due to illness at the very last minute, I had to cancel my travel to Greece and thus, my stay at Live-Bio. However, if one believes in magic and star dust and at the risk of coming across a touch flaky, I cannot emphasize enough, how special Magdalena made me feel even just in the very initial communications. One can tell that they are caring hosts without being intruding, and, that they most certainly have that special and rare innate sense of what guests need. I was sad about not being able to meet Magdalena and I hope that she keeps her special qualities and thank her and her husband for creating magic for us. I will most certainly make another booking.

About Poros Island:
Only one hour ferry ride from Athens, Poros Island in Greece is a beautiful place with relaxing atmosphere. The nice beaches, the picturesque town and the lounge nightlife makes it a popular summer destination for the Athenians. With green pine trees and crystal water, the entire island gives a valuable sense of mind and body relaxation.
The Town, constructed on the slopes of a hill, is the center of most activities on the island The Historic Clock is imposing from distance on the highest top of the town hill, among prickly pears and pines.
The most tourist place is Askeli, a sandy beach with clean water and lined up with many tourist facilities.
The most picturesque spot of Poros is the Love Bay, surrounded by the characteristic pine forests of the island.
Over the last years, Poros has become a base for sailing in the Saronic Gulf.
Holidays in Poros is particularly popular among families with kids who can spend relaxing days under the sun.
However there are also activities for group of young people with water sports facilities, beach bars and restaurants near the sea.
At the center of town you can find the archaeological museum, the library, reception rooms, and an open air cinema above the marina.
Poros is comprised of two islands Sphairia and Kalavria (the name Kalavria means "Good Aura"). Kalavria at first was offered to the god Apollo and he made it over to the god Poseidon in return for Delphi. Kalavria is quite larger than Sphairia and is planted all over. Sphairia is a volcanic rock.
In mythological times Aithra founded in Sphairia the temple of Athena Apatoria in honor of her encounter with the god Poseidon.
In the north part of the island there are the ruins of Poseidon's Temple, which was built in 520BC. The main Temple was built in Doric style, though some of its columns were Ionian. Nearly the Temple there was the built up area of Kalavria.
How to get to Poros:
The island of Poros is situated in the Argo-Saronic Gulf, 32 sea miles from Athens’ Piraeus harbor, and at its nearest point in only 200 meters distance from the Peloponnesian mainland.
This means that the island can be comfortably reached by sea as well as by land, and thus is never cut off due to bad weather conditions. Arriving at Athens “Elefterios Venizelos” airport you can choose between the airport shuttle bus X 96 or a taxi to bring you to Piraeus main harbor. The schedules for ferry boat and hydrofoil/ catamaran vary due to season. Information and on line booking on Hellenic seaways website. The classic ferry boat, which transports passengers as well as vehicles, offers a romantic sea trip with intermediate stops at the ports of Aegina and Methana. The journey takes about 2,5 hours and costs approximately 13 Euro/person. The faster hydrofoil as well as the comfortable catamaran boat ride directly to Poros in about one hour’s time, cost is approximately 23 Euro/person. In case you travel with your own car or motor bike, a ferry boat will set you over from Galata every hour between 7.00 am and 22.00 pm daily. In summer schedules are every 30 minutes. Ticket reservation is not necessary. There are public bus connections (KTEL, phone service 14505, in Greek) between Piraeus and Galatas and as well as between Nafplio and Galata.

Great Time un Poros thanks to Christina who Is an amazing host, caring for us, available anytime but also discrete when needed, always welcoming us with a smile. She made a cake for our arrival and picked us up at the ferry station (since the flat Is a bit far away from the town). The flat was perfect for the four of us, clean, well equiped and with a beautiful view from the terasse . The flat Is up in the Hill so we rented scooters and bikes to circulate through the island, and it was really fun! So to sumarize :dont hesitate to rent this place, perfect Time guarenteed !!! And thanks again to Christina :)

Elise2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

The view from the house Christina are fantastic. Perfect for lunch beneath the wattle or fooling around on the sea and the sky at night. The house is spacious and clean. Christina is very kind and good hostess. The kids liked the most, the fed akomak cent breakfast (as arivos lived next to us)! The last 400 meters to the house from the beach of Askeli will confuse the inexperienced driver but the view cent quietness at the end of the path and worth the extra!
